Serious Injury
Serious injury, also referred to as catastrophic injury, is so extensive that the injured individual has at least one bodily system that has been severely affected, often the central nervous system. Paraplegia, quadriplegia and other types of paralysis may result. Brain damage, loss of limbs or sight or hearing are other extremely serious injuries that impact the individual’s life, causing intense pain and necessitating long-term care.
In most cases of serious injury, the medical and long-term healthcare expenses are so exorbitant that the family has no other recourse but to seek the legal assistance of a successful and experienced personal injury lawyer. Obtaining just compensation becomes a necessity to cover injury expenses incurred and to provide for future medical needs.

- Brain Damage and Strokes
- Brain Abscesses
- Electrical Injuries
- Chemical Burns
- Paralysis
